Knowledge is power
I have been a fan of Steve Chan’s channel, DSI Pictures for many years, and with the recent release of the EOS R6 Mark III, Steve shared a video showcasing the capabilities of the camera, including the 6.9K edited file and RAW footage, which open a window to see both, the capabilities of the camera, […]
Since I saw The Batman (2022) in theaters, I thought the image was far too dark, I could barely see the characters’ faces at all. At first, I assumed it was a problem with the theater’s projection. Then I bought the Blu-ray and watched it on an HDR TV, and it was still way too […]
There are tons of videos explaining how to grade iPhone HDR footage to SDR/Rec.709, and they’re all 100% wrong – because none of them address the real problem: IT’S HDR! The TL;DR is this: iPhone HDR video is recorded in full-range (0-255), but DaVinci Resolve assumes it’s in video/legal range (16-235) by default. Recently I […]
When I saw that both OBS and Ecamm Live support Look-Up Tables (LUTs) on live video, I was quite excited, but I never had the chance to try them out until recently. And oh boy, it was quite disappointing, and it’s not really their fault, but rather the lack of information and documentation from all […]
In a previous article I showed how to achieve the best results recording in ProRes HQ externally with the EOS R and R5 in combination with the Atomos Ninja V, the workflow was something like this: I felt that enabling and disabling the “Legalize” toggle was a waste of time, so I decided to look […]
As is now Apple tradition, they’ve released iPhones that can record in Apple Log 2, yet they still don’t provide an official, easy-to-download LUT for converting to Rec.709. While a few opportunists sell over-priced LUTs, I decided to fix that. I built two free, high-precision conversion LUTs that take Apple Log 2 straight to Rec.709: […]
As I shown on a previous article, the EOS R5 and R6 are unable to output C-Log 3 with Cinema Gamut through HDMI, even after setting Cinema Gamut as color space on the camera, HDMI will always output Rec/BT.2020. This presents a challenge when using custom LUTs while using the Atomos Ninja V, for instance, […]
May 3, 2024 Update: It appears that this is a Canon made limitation, some users have reported that the C70 is able to output C-Log 3 with Cinema Gamut trhough HDMI. The EOS cameras that have Cinema Gamut as a Color Space option, cannot output Cinema Gamut trough HDMI, I have covered this issue several […]
While I own several DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras, there are moments during vacations when capturing the entire experience proves challenging. From vast attractions to cramped spaces, some scenes simply exceed the capabilities of traditional lenses. This is where the Insta360 X3 360° Camera truly shines. Although I’m aware that the Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch 360 […]
Since the release of the Atomos Ninja V, many new cameras have been released, among them, the Sony FX30, but the lack of documentation by both, Sony and Atomos on how to record S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3 using the Ninja V in Apple ProRes HQ, its astonishing. So this guide will show you, just like with the EOS […]
